Female submissive's Creed
Current mood: thoughtful
Category: Life

The Female submissive's Creed
Author Unknown

1. I will communicate with complete honesty my needs, desires, limits, and experience. I realize that failing to do so will not only prevent my Dom and I from from having the best experience possible, but can also lead to physical and emotional harm.
   
   
2. I will not try to manipulate my Dom. I will not push to make a scene go the way I feel it should. In other words, I will not top from the bottom.
   
   
3. I will keep an open mind about trying things that I am not comfortable with and expanding my limits. I will continue to grow as a submissive and as a human being.
   
   
4. I will accept the responsibility of discovering what pleases my Dom, and will do my best to fufill his wishes and desires.
   
   
5. I will not allow myself to be harmed or abused. I know that submissive does not equal doormat.
   
   
6. I will be courteous and helpful to my fellow submissives. I will share my knowledge and experience with others in the hope that they will learn and benefit from where I have been. I will take the time to help those new to the scene start out on the correct path.
   
   
7. I will be responsive to my Dom. I will not try to hide what my mind and body are feeling so that I may assist him in his responsibilities as my authority. I know that Dominants are not telepaths, and will not expect my Dom to know thoughts or feelings which I do not share.
   
   
8. I will accept in the responsibility of a scene or relationship gone bad. I will not place total blame on my Dom when it is not warranted simply because he is the Dominant. I realize that things may not work out as they should at times, and will do my best to put it behind me and move on.
   
   
9. I will give my gift of submission only to those that can responsibly accept and desire to receive. I will not place anyone in the position of Dominating me non-consensually, nor will I give my respect to someone that has not earned it.
   
   
10. I know that D/s is not a contest, and will never think myself a "better" submissive because I choose to submit on a different level than another. I will not be boastful of the experiences I have had as a bottom.
    
    
11. I will be obedient to my Dom even if I disagree with what he is requesting. I realize he has my best interests at heart and often knows better than I what I need in a particular situation.
    
    
12. I know that my actions reflect upon my Dom, and will do my best to help others see him in a positive way. I will not intentionally embarrass or displease my Dominant.
    
    
13. Above all, I will wear my title of submissive with honor. I will never cause others to think that being submissive means to be weak or sub-human. I will take pride in who and what I am and will never show myself in a negative way.

To all my friends... I'm planning on going to Dada around 8:30pm tonight.  You're all welcome to come join in some food and dessert. Even though it's my bday, I just want to enjoy the pleasure of hanging out with friends and being silly!

Also, there's a absolutely wonderful Magician that will be making the rounds there... Brad. Very entertaining and mystifyingly talented in his craft.

Have a groovy day!

Helping Hand ~ repost

ORIGINAL POST BY: http://www.myspace.com/mekanizedtao

want to be a saint?  here's your chance, a no purchase necessary contest to do something decent and real for a fellow human being.

i've made a friend on myspace, and she's getting shafted.  she met a guy online, they talked for a year;  love, brought to you by our sponsor aol.

at 16 she moved to florida, a runaway, but with a home waiting for her.  a new life with a family that graciously took her in.

three years of good times, and she repaired things with her parents.  it's easier to love them under a different roof, i know all about that.

she and boyfriend broke up 6 months ago.  she still lives with the family.  he doesn't live there, but stops by often.

she works as a waitress, making good money.  a good half hour of conversation related to taking up the slack of others who are lazy.  i'm used to it, but she's young.  doesn't realize yet the fact that others aren't like her is what makes her special.  it's no excuse to stop working hard and being generous.

here's where it gets shitty.  they hate her.  they are rude and mean, and they are robbing her.  she is giving them rent, 500 a month to rent a room.  they borrow money from her all the time and she gives it to them.  no repayment.  recent examples include:  400 for the mom's cell phone bill.  the mom asks for 200 (this time who knows what for), so she gives her 130 in cash and her debit card for the rest.  the mom takes out another 130 instead of the 70.  she has been presented with bills:  water, electric, etc. and she pays them because she needs that stuff.  she also buys the groceries.  is it fair to foist the seven member family's living exspenses off on a mixed up 20 year old?  just because you don't manage your own money?

here's where it gets fun.  old boyfriend calls her fat ass.  she's hopped up on diet pills and not sleeping, they talk to her like shit.  i've heard them in the background, heard the pain in her voice.

coup de grace'.  he beat her up.  recently enough she wouldn't come hang out with me because she's 'ugly' with the bruises.

this situation is intolerable and repugnant to me.  she is beautiful and deserves better.

some of you have expressed admiration for what i have done for paul.  that's only the tip of an iceberg.  that's how i live.  she was reluctant to share all of this, i had to drag it out of her.  i had to care enough to make her tell me.  i can fix that, but only if you tell me it's broken.  i can fix that, but who would listen?

as the story unfolded, i went silent.  an ominous sign, for those who know me well.  tickety tick, tickety tick, calculating . . . please wait.  i am very clever, and good at putting lives back together, i've practiced on mine in an endless cycle for 29 years.

so why doesn't she just get out?  a lot of silly reasons, and she is getting out, now that i'm involved.  it's just a question of timing.

first, she has no car, and the family is her ride to and from work (one good thing in her life, she has a good job that she enjoys)

second, she gives them all her money.  she thinks she has to to keep the lights on and keep getting to work.

third, she has nowhere to go.  no friend to go crash with.

there are other reasons, but that' the big three, i don't want to get bogged down in minutia.

so . . . tickety tick, tickety tick, i set to work solving it.

how much do you make?

how much on hand this very second?

ok, budgeting for:

car
deposit on new place
new furnishings
living exspenses

tickety tick, tickety tick

DO NOT GIVE THEM MORE MONEY!

tickety tick, tickety tick

we need to find you a roomate

tickety tick, tickety tick

one month.  by my calculations you will only endure this for one more month.

________________________________________________________________

if i could take her in myself, i would, in a heartbeat.  here, crash.  a safe place to live, save and move on.  you can have a better life than that.

i just can't.  my 420 square feet of space in this world is overflowing with my latest project, paul.  i hated that i couldn't fix this instatly.

ah, but i can.  if you like the idea of being generous, and you think you want to try on generosity, see how it makes you feel, adopt your own stray.  girl for rent.

she needs help from a decent person, are there any of you out there besides me?

here are the details.  she will need:

a safe place to live for a month or two

transportation to and from her job (i can help with this as soon as my truck is fixed, i'll quit being lazy and wrap it up today, it's important.)

help finding a place of her own

budgeting and a gameplan to accomplish all of this (i got this one, already)

a real friend

a roomate (in the for what it's worth department, i think she is fun, witty and interesting, you'd be gaining a great friend.)

the best part is, she isn't a fucked up demented runaway head job.  not that i wouldn't help if she were.  she's hyper, and funny, and relatively normal (as normal as any of us), just stuck in a bad place.

OKOKOKOKOKOK

here's what i am asking:

if you can do this, if you're willing to help, contact me.  if you can't but wish you could, pass my blog on to people you trust that might feel the same way.

offer alternatives if you think i'm wrong.  if it's women's shelters or organizations, don't waste your breath.  this is something one individual can do, and that will have the best results.

this situation smacks of all the things people hate in this world, here is a chance to make a difference.  you don't even need to make a sign.  it will cost you living with a wonderful new friend temporarily, or maybe permanently (maybe you'll be the new permanent roomate).  yes, it will be a sacrifice, yes it requires some work on your part.  that's what makes it special.  are you willing to work for something good, with value, or do you only give that time for worthless paper?

christians.  you have no excuse.  somebody do this, but if you do, be sure it's free.  don't attach strings.  don't club her with a cross.  show her with your actions and let her be herself.  let her find her own way.  don't you dare even make her go to church.  NO STRINGS!

i am actually expecting a massive response.  i hope to get that, i want a lot of options so that i can help figure out the best fit, be certain of success.  i will insist on meeting candidates in person, handshake and a look in your eyes, i must have that.  i'm entrusting a vulnerable and wonderful treasure to one of you, i don't take it lightly, i will be watching.  don't make me blog you're treatment to find yet another new home.

i haven't said where she lives or given any idea how convenient this may or may not be, just respond if you want to help.  if it's illogical, or just not viable, i'll commend you and let you know you just don't fit the need.  you'll earn my respect.

i want to charge over there and blast holes in the place.  kick in the door, "come with me if you want to live!"  go nuts with an AK (a-team style, no one gets shot, but BA tosses a few over some couches).  that isn't the answer, i think i have the right one, though.

for god's sake, people, just be cool.  please, don't make me do this alone, i'll keep running until i drop.

she deserves your help because she is human.
